Anyone who knows me will probably tell you that I am a fairly positive person most of the time. I try to be positive and project a positive attitude. I try to be encouraging and lift others up. BUT, there are those times when things just suck. And, it's okay.
It took me a while to come to grips with the fact that it is okay to not be okay. I mean, I am saved, eternity with JESUS in HEAVEN awaits, and I have such a wonderful life here. But, occasionally, life gets in the way and things go bad and struggles arise and I am not always happy.
Today's word is just a quote that reminds me that sometimes things just suck (I know, not a nice word but very descriptive of situations), and that it is okay to not be okay. It says, "It's okay not to be okay as long as you're not giving up."
It's okay to not be happy about unhappy circumstances. It's okay to not be happy about bad situations. It's okay to not be okay when things aren't going well. Anyone that tries to tell you that you are wrong for feeling sadness and frustration and irritation and hurt and pain is more wrong than I could ever express. As a matter of fact, JESUS told us that "in this world you shall have tribulations." Bad things are going to happen, and it's okay not to be okay with it.
HOWEVER, just because today is bad is no reason to give up or give in. Yes, today is bad but better days are coming. Storms don't last forever, seasons change, the sun still rises in the morning, things will get better. When bad things happen, and they will, just remember that it is okay not to be okay - AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP!"
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
